About this work

This sketch shows a jagged city skyline with sharp, angular buildings. The lines are rough and uneven, like quick scribbles. The background looks like swirling water or maybe wind, with no clear details. The artist signed it in the corner—Lyonel Feininger—and dated it 1917. The style feels raw, almost like a sketch before a finished drawing. If you like this look, check out etching to see how artists create prints like this.
